[Zope] Static fail-over

[Chris McDonough]

Use Squid, set caching headers on all of your pages, and spider the site
each time you bring it up.  There are probably some configuration options in
Squid which allows it to continue to serve content when the origin server
has disappeared (if anybody knows this, I'd like to know too, so please
reply if you do! ;-)
